Shoulder Injury Treatments

What is a rotator cuff? How do you repair it?

If you're having shoulder pain, it is often due to an injury of the rotator cuff tendons that drive the arm up-and-down and make your arm work. When the tendons are torn, they pull away from the bone. At The Stone Clinic in San Francisco, http://www.stoneclinic.com Dr. Kevin Stone is able to fix this injury by pulling the tendons back and anchor them into place. It is done as an arthroscopic outpatient procedure. It's best to repair this injury as early as you can to save yourself from developing arthritis. Set up a complimentary phone consult to find out if this procedure will work for you. http://www.stoneclinic.com/schedule-complimentary-phone-consultation-or-book-appointment

Collarbone Fractures

Collarbone (clavicle) fractures are painful and often don't heal well. When they're significantly displaced, it's better to fix them. At The Stone Clinic in San Francisco, http://www.stoneclinic.com we no longer need to use plates and screws and open incisions to do this. We are able to do a percutaneous repair through a very small incision.
